The more I think about it, the more I really dont want to head back to D.F. quite yet.

Life without honking-pollution-bigcitydanger-8to6routine-computersitting-nontravelstress has been quite lovely. Regardless, I will be arriving en La Ciudad de Mexico around 8am Monday morning, I suppose in time to get to work not too ridiculously late...

After literally hours of walking around Tuxtla with Lulu, going to all the sparsely situated bus stations, I just snagged the very last ticket on tomorrows 8pm outa here; the next available was for January 8th - wonder how well the boss-types would have handled that ;) At least this gives me tomorrow to check out some sites around Tuxtla - possibly the zoo (which is very unique in being a nature reserve where all the animals are native to the region and most roam free in large enclosures) or Cañon de Sumidero- and enjoy my last breaths of clean Chiapas air!

The higher-end bus ticket ($100 pesos more expensive than the max Id planned to spend) should at least get me a relatively comfy seat, improving my chances of catching some ZZZzzzs before -ICK- work.
